Two people familiar with the case told The Associated Press that Pettitte was in Washington last week to meet with prosecutors.
Pettitte could be a crucial witness for any case against Clemens. The two trained together for years.
Pettitte has acknowledged taking human growth hormone and told congressional investigators that Clemens informed him nearly a decade ago that he used HGH.
Prosecutors are weighing whether to bring perjury charges against Clemens for denying under oath to Congress that he took performance-enhancing substances.
Asked about his meeting with prosecutors, Pettitte said, "I can't talk to you about that."
